CaJaRose.

When whistles come in handy.

Precious porcelain is sliding off the shelves

green lit water is flooding the fourth floor

Cal's got a pocket of cash and rubies

hoping to find a spot on the next boat

as well as a place in her heart.

Too bad shes busy taking off her clothes

sprawled on a couch in nothing but her new will to live

The old b***h is demanting her tea

First class first, f**k the lower class with knives

Death is a pretty good equalizer, in my book

Somewhere soggy a mother tells her children a fairy tell

tucking them in and kissing them goodnight

Somewhere warm a mother tells her children a fairy tell

only this time the children wake up in the morning.

The captains goin down with his ship,

The old mans goin down with his liqour bottle

Your money means nothing here, Cal

Never meant anything to Rose

Who's promising to never let go

but she let go

and there he goes

somewhere between shipwrecked and frozen lungs

he didnt drown in the end

no, and neither did the band

they were the best part of that movie, anyways

 

Turn off the television, sweetie

I've had enough of shipwreck love and car sex for one night.

Author's Note

I really do love the band in Titanic. They keep playing to the very end
True musicians, dying as they lived


I always tear up when the mother puts her children to sleep...
that part kills me the most.

this poem gets better each time i read it.

Too bad shes busy taking off her clothes
sprawled on a couch in nothing but her new will to live.
